A member of the sunflower family, the sunny disposition of gazanias is well deserved, thanks to their striped patterns and bright, vivid colors. A popular choice for summer gardens, these hardy flowers bloom all summer long. Photographed in mid-June 2016.

Red Orange Kiss Golden Flame Gazanias Photo Print

My attempt to photograph a Rufous hummingbird feeding from the hot pink fuschia flowers on a sunny evening in late June 2016 ultimately proved to be fruitless ... but this Western Tiger Swallowtail butterfly who came to pose in its stead was a wonderful consolation prize!

Beautiful Western Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Photo Print

I spotted this youngster sitting on this little island all by itself at Piper Spit, amongst many other recent springtime arrivals from more distant shores. I wondered if independence been foisted upon it at a very early age, for I saw neither mother Mallard nor siblings in the immediate area, and yet this precocious duckling seemed to be more than capable of fending for and feeding itself.

A Cute and Precocious Mallard Duckling Photo Print

An early morning walk brings us unexpectedly face to face with the normally distant and hard to photograph Killdeer. This is the mother-to-be.

They're not juniper berries, but this bird--which is rarely seen here in the Metro Vancouver area--clearly isn't finicky when it comes to winter fruits. This Townsend's Solitaire (another bird for my life list) materialized on our front lawn pyracantha bush on December 9, 2015, but it required two more visits more a week later to finally get proof of this handsome thrush.

Townsend's Solitaire and the Pyracantha Photo Print

A young sub-adult male Anna's hummingbird was taking five in the scarlet firethorn next to its pommes on an unseasonably prolonged cold snap. Unlike most other birds who frequent this bush in the fall and winter, he didn't seem to mind that I wrestled the window open (however softly I did it), and took a few shots of him next to the bunch of berries that's almost as big as he is. Photographed in mid-December 2016.

Adorable Anna's Hummingbird on Berry Bush Photo Print

A newly adult Canada Goose grooms itself at Piper Spit, Burnaby Lake, on a cloudy fall day, the angular and swan-like curve of its neck conveying an almost regal quality to this bird. Although migratory birds in many parts of the world, some Canada Geese are all-year-round residents in Metro Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Photographed in early November 2016.

Canada Goose on the Lake Photo Print

A juvenile Double-Crested Cormorant swims by and gives me a cursory once over at Ladner Harbour Park. One of three juveniles swimming in the marina (fairly close to the wharf), and one of five such individuals in the general area. The youngsters have much lighter plumage than the adults, but by the time the former have matured, they're also less likely to be so close to humans. Even from a distance, this species of cormorant is readily identifiable, thanks to its bright yellow face patch.

Add a touch of nature to your favorite drink with this elegant shot glass, which features a beautiful female snowy owl disappearing into the background. Great gift idea for bird and nature lovers!

Owls are such fascinating creatures. They are front page newsmakers, drawing the interest of birders, nature lovers, and just about everyone else who has a pulse. Snowy Owls are especially charismatic; the largest owls in North America only show up in Metro Vancouver every few years, and their appearance during our winters causes crowds of admirers and fans to form and flock.

Beautiful, Dreamy and Serene Snowy Owl Shot Glass

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. 

The next best thing to having an Orange-Crowned Warbler in your backyard is having an Orange-Crowned Warbler in your backyard when the cherry tree is blooming in the springtime. Because perhaps the enticingly sweet taste of these flowers will make these small, olive-colored songbirds pause for just an instant, giving you an opportunity to capture the twin beauties of bird and blossoms. Photographed in mid-April 2017.

Part brainteaser, part assemble-it-yourself art, this challenging, wildlife-themed puzzle is great for improving muscle memory. This late afternoon closeup of a male Wood Duck ensured that the fading winter sun's rays weren't casting harsh shadows on my subject. This handsome fellow clearly knew that I wanted solos of him, and was more than happy to oblige me with several angles.

Add a touch of nature to any room with this wildlife-themed wall hanging which features a beautiful female Northern Harrier in the marsh.

An unexpectedly close encounter with a female Northern Harrier while walking the paths of the local wildlife area in early Spring 2017. This beautiful, owl-faced bird of prey, so often seen soaring the skies, was hunkered down in the marshes -- probably waiting out her next meal, a duck who had gone to ground.
